Allegiance Coal Ltd has announced the first set of results from the carbonisation tests undertaken on the Black Warrior Mine’s premium Mary Lee and Blue Creek coking coals. The first test was for 50:50 blends of Mary Lee and Blue Creek, which the company is selling as a blended product. These two coal seams share the same properties and variously throughout the Black Warrior Basin come together as a single coal seam. They are typically sold together under the Blue Creek brand. The large scale semi-industrial carbonisation test undertaken in a moveable wall oven at DMT Germany, delivered a CSR result of 61% making it comparable with high vol A hard coking coals from the US. Two additional carbonisation tests will be undertaken on each of the Mary Lee and Blue Creek seams individually purely for coal quality data purposes.The two sold Black Warrior cargos of Mary Lee Blue Creek were priced at a discount to high-vol B indices at the time of each sale due to the lack of respected laboratory data to support coke strength.Allegiance Coal Limited is a listed Australian company focused on seaborne met coal mine development and operations, with operating mines in southeast Colorado, central Alabama, as well as a development project in northwest British Columbia. Allegiance is committed to the development of sustainable working relationships with indigenous peoples and the wider community with whom the company is engaged in relation to its projects.
